how to choose one of two available sound cards as default? (ubuntu distro, no sndconfig).

alsa or oss ?
If sound card are different, so load modules for them in proper order. First loaded module will handle /dev/dsp0 , /dev/mixer0 etc. that are used by default by most programs. It works for OSS. I don't try with alsa.
